trying to knock some rust off my joints. :oIt's crazy, the light weight hurts my back and hips and feels heavy - the heavy weight feels great and doesn't hurt my back or hips. ???Go figure, I suppose next week we'll go heavier

Frantz's Ten Commandments1. Equipment ( wraps,suits;etc. ) should be a benefit,so learn to ues it wisely.2. Make sure you warm up properly and listen to your body.3. Act like your light lifts are heavy, so your heavy lifts will feel light.4. Concentration separates the good from the best.5 Keep every bodypart tight during the entire movement.6. When trying a new style work up slowly, but work hard.7. There is no excuse for a lack of practice.8. A good deadlifter will always finish strong.9. Bodybuilding and powerlifting do not mix. Make your choice- beautiful muscles or raw power.10. Work with a positive attitude. A winner thinks he can and a loser never thinks.
